Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In other news, the nomination of Matt Gaetz as AG by Donald Trump has moved the Mitt Romney Outrage Meter from "distasteful" to "bothersome".
How many steps are we away from a furrowed brow?
Always thought he looked more like Beavis, myself.
Everybody's surprised that he's picked this guy , but it's because he's compromised that he's picked him.
He has or will have all the shady shit he's done on his desk every morning they have a meeting to remind him what to do.
Outrageous choice.
"This shows why the advice and consent process is so important and I'm sure that there will be a lot of questions raised at his hearing," said Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) who added that she was "shocked" by the pick.”
Fuck. She’s going to vote for him, isn’t she…
Remember. According to Susan Collins, he learned his lesson with his first impeachment so he won't do corruption and crime stuff again. Because Trump pinky swore. Or something.
Of course she'll rubber stamp it.

No they aren't.
They voted for it and they wanted this.
Elect a clown, expect a circus.
Common guys, we've already been through this.

Every one of them will fall in line when they remember Trump's daughter in-law runs the RNC and their reelection funds are now contingent on obedience.

People credibly accused of sex with children have to stick up for each other.
I wonder if they've reached out to Dave Coulier in his fragile state.

I feel like we're going to see a lot of "Republicans ashamed of Trump" headlines while they sign their names in blood on everything he asks for.
If they wanted to, they could simply choose not to certify the election results or they could impeach and vote to remove him.
They won't. They're all complicit.
They're rightly scared of not being re-elected for daring to oppose him. Or worse.
Mark my words, you are going to see a LOT of railing against rebel Republicans from Trump. Or what few are left, anyway.
Why in the world would Republicans think that Trump would make sensible appointments? What has he done in the past, that would make them think this?
Yeah yeah I'm sure they will do all sorts of gasping and then confirm him anyway. Despite what they say the lot of them are just Trump sycophants at this point.
That was the whole of his last administration.
"What he's done is just awful. It must stop. This is the last time." For four years.
I'm just going to spend the next four years treating it like comedy. Nothing else I can do until the mid terms.
Call your Senators, give them your name, zip code, and briefly tell them you oppose these noms. It DOES make a difference! Democracy doesn't stop at the ballot box, it has to be fought for
Unless you live in a red state, it doesn’t matter. It requires a simple majority to confirm.

You've seen how many people have railed against Trump only to turn right back around and toss his salad. Trump has dirt on these people, like mutually assured destruction level dirt.
The "dirt" is not being re-elected because they dare question Trump.
That's what is ridiculous to me. The consequences are literally that they might lose their job. Yeah it sucks for them a little bit, but the alternative is destroying our fucking country. It's amazing how many of them choose to bend the knee time and time again.
I believe the calculus is "A even more extreme MAGA diehard will take my place."
Which is 100% true.
Still extremely self-serving, but kinda reasonable in a Machiavellian way.

No, it's worse than that. It's "go to prison" level shit.
Bunch of disappointed losers sad that daddy picked someone else to be his special boy. Disgust would require these shitsacks to have morals.
Leopards...leopards everywhere.
who spoke on the condition of anonymity
Definitely brings a feline word to mind.
And faces! Don't forget the faces.
Eugh. Raw face is just gross.
Great accelerationist pick, appreciated by both nazis and tankies
He's constantly Tarzaning from Trump's nuts, so he meets all of Trump's qualifications.
